    >sky reports that MI5 was made aware of the donations in advance and vetted them:

    >> He told Sky News he has been liaising with MI5 “for a number of years” about Ms Lee “and they have always known, and been made fully aware by me, of her engagement with my office and the donations she made to fund researchers in my office”.

    >> Mr Gardiner added: “Steps were taken to ensure she had no role in either the appointment or management of those researchers.

    >> “They are also aware that I have not benefitted personally from those donations in any way. She ceased funding any workers in my office in June 2020.”
